Listen to New Keane Track "Better Than This"

If you look in all the right place on the mighty internet, you might find a couple of tracks from Keane's new album "Perfect Symmetry" floating around. A radio rip of one of the tracks, titled "Better Than This" landed in my email box last night and let me tell you, judging from the sound of that tune, fans have lots to be excited about.

Just like "Spiralling," "Better Than This" is one of these tracks that is decidedly different than anything else the Brit trio has done before. Some might even wonder if it is really them.  But with the music always centered around Tom's distinct vocals, there is no doubt that Keane Version 3.0 has a lot of exciting stuff to offer.

"Better Than This" is a quirky number with fun, little vocal runs in its verses, handclaps, freaked out high-pitched synths and a xylophone towards the end. And that "You can do so much better than this/You can tell yourself you're doing your best" in the song's chorus is worth a million bucks. Check it out and be surprised. I love this track.
